CALIFORNIA SAFE DRINKING WATER
AND TOXIC ENFORCEMENT ACT
This act requires the governor of California to publish
a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm and requires
businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to
such substances. Gas appliances can cause minor
exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene,
carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused
primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural
gas or LP fuels. Properly adjusted dryers will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances
can be minimized further by properly venting the
dryer to the outdoors.
